You show your an empty paper bag. You then proceed to puncture a hole in the bag using a dowel rod. The dowel rod goes through one end of the bag and out the other.
Next you feed a rope through the holes that you just punctured.
Now once again, you show your audience the bag and now all they see is a paper bag with a rope going through it...
Now you drop a solid ring into the bag.
You now remove the dowel rod and wave it over the bag...Finally you give the rope one good yank in an upward motion and show the audience the rope has penetrated the ring magically!

Note: You may tear the paper bag to show the audience that there wasn't anything hidden.
